Cloud VPS · High frequency
HF-8: 3 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD
HF-8 is the middle of the High frequency line: enough memory for an application and a real database, a quarter of a terabyte of SSD storage, and cores that finish individual pieces of work quickly. The odd core count is deliberate — it is what the host shape gives at this memory size.

Scope
What the price covers, and what it does not.
HF-8 is a self-managed server. The list on the right is not a gap we intend to fill later — it is the other product.
In the price
- Full root access on a KVM virtual machine with its own kernel
- One dedicated IPv4 for the life of the server
- SSD storage on every size, named on the plan (NVMe where the supplier states it)
- Browser console straight to the machine for when SSH is the thing that broke
- Rebuild onto any image in about a minute, keeping the same IP address
Not in the price
- Nobody patches the operating system but you — this is a self-managed server
- No Windows images: every image we ship is Linux
- We do not resell control panel licences (cPanel, Plesk or otherwise)
- No snapshots or size changes from the panel yet: changing size is a support request, and a copy before a risky change is yours to take
- No private networking between servers: traffic between two of your own servers uses their public addresses
- Regions cannot be changed in place; moving means a new server and a DNS cutover
- Prepaid terms are not pro-rated if you destroy the server early
Suited to
Where HF-8 is the right size.
Three fast cores, 8 GB, 256 GB of SSD.
- An application with a hot database
- 8 GB of RAM plus fast SSD storage keeps both the working set and the write path quick.
- A search or index service
- Indexing is disk-bound and query time is clock-bound. This plan is shaped for both.
- A multi-tenant staging host
- Several branches of the same product running side by side, each fast enough to test properly.
Line
HF-8 sits on the High frequency line. Cores on this line are shared with other tenants on the same host. Bursts are quick; an hour pinned at 100% is not something a shared core can promise.
Questions
About HF-8 specifically.
These are the questions this plan actually gets, answered without the marketing round-off.
Why three vCPU rather than four?
Does the disk get faster on this line too?
